Story
"Good
morninnng
Mumbaiiii," nope,
that's
not
Vidya
Balan's
character
RJ
Janhvi
from
Lage
Raho
Munna
Bhai.
Instead,
you
see
Rana
(Randeep
Hooda)
in
a
long
leather
coat
and
longer
hair,
exchanging
this
morning
salutation
before
smashing
a
man
to
pulp
in
a
deserted
car
shed.
Our
villain
is
a
new
outlaw
who
aspires
to
ravage
the
city
of
Mumbai
with
his
drugs
business.
Enters
Radhe
(Salman
Khan),
a
rebellious
encounter
specialist
whose
resume
boasts
of
97
encounters
and
23
transfers
in
a
span
of
10
years.
The
man
doesn't
believe
in
playing
by
the
rule
book
both
on
and
off
duty.
When
not
gunning
down
baddies,
Radhe
spends
his
time
flirting
and
dancing
with
his
boss
Avinash's
(Jackie
Shroff)
sister
Diya
(Disha
Patani).
Soon,
Radhe
and
Rana's
paths
cross
and
what
follows
next
is
a
ride
which
is
enjoyable
only
in
bits
and
pieces.
Direction
Prabhu
Deva's
latest
outing
Radhe:
Your
Most
Wanted
Bhai
is
based
on
the
Korean
film
The
Outlaws.
The
filmmaker
tries
to
fit
the
South
Korean
crime
thriller
into
the
template
of
a
Salman
Khan
film
and
fails
miserably.
While
Prabhu
Deva
ticks
most
of
the
boxes
when
it
comes
to
pleasing
Salman's
die-hard
fans
(checkered
shirts,
trademark
bracelets
and
massy
dialogues),
his
storytelling
takes
a
backseat
in
the
process.
The
inconsistent
screenplay
adds
more
to
your
woes
as
you
try
to
make
sense
of
what's
unfolding
on
screen.
Performances
Superstar
Salman
Khan
literally
has
'glass
shattering' entry
in
the
film.
In
one
of
the
scenes,
he
even
displays
his
bronzed
rippling
torso
which
gets
the
leading
lady
to
fall
into
his
arms.
In
short,
he
does
things
that
only
Bhai
fans
would
rejoice!
For
the
rest,
re-watching
Wanted
is
a
better
option
any
day.
Disha
Patani
is
reduced
to
a
glam
doll
whose
only
contribution
is
to
mouth
a
few
annoying
lines
and
shake
a
leg
with
her
love
interest.
Her
track
with
Salman
simply
adds
minutes
to
the
runtime
of
the
film.
It's
disheartening
to
watch
a
seasoned
actor
like
Jackie
Shroff
in
a
role
which
doesn't
make
any
significant
contribution
to
the
film.
If
the
makers
wanted
to
explore
the
humour
angle
with
him
then
sorry
boss,
it
was
a
complete
misfire!
Randeep
Hooda
tries
his
best
to
salvage
this
ship
from
sinking
but
the
mediocre
writing
pulls
him
down.
Gautam
Gulati,
Sanjay
Tsheltrim,
Sudhanshu
Pandey
and
Megha
Akash
are
okay
in
their
respective
parts.
Singer-musician
Arjun
Kanungo
who
makes
his
Bollywood
debut
with Radhe,
catches
your
eye
in
his
portions.
Technical
Aspects
Barring
a
few
action
scenes,
Salman
Khan's
Radhe:
Your
Most
Wanted
Bhai
has
nothing
new
to
offer
in
the
'dishoom-dishoom'
department.
Most
of
the
film
has
been
shot
indoors
in
Mumbai
and
Salman's
Galaxy
Apartment
also
makes
a
friendly
appearance.
At
a
runtime
of
1
hour
and
49
minutes,
Radhe
is
Salman's
shortest
film
in
his
career.
Speaking
about
the
editing,
it
looks
a
bit
disjointed
at
a
few
places.
Music
While
the
lyrics
of
all
the
four
songs,
'Zoom
Zoom',
'Seeti
Maar',
'Dil
De
Diya'
and
the
title
track
are
forgettable,
Prabhu
Deva
does
an
impressive
job
in
terms
of
the
visuals
and
choreography.
Probably,
that's
the
only
sunshine
in
this
action
thriller.
Verdict
"Police
ki
naukri
hai,
giraftaar
to
karna
padega.
Mujrim
hu
jaan
se
maarna
padega." Well,
Salman
Khan-Randeep
Hooda's
dialoguebaazi
is
applicable
to
the
life
of
a
film
reviewer
as
well,
whether
the
film
turns
out
to
be
good
or
bad!
For
someone
who
has
grown
up
watching
masala
entertainers,
Salman's
latest
Eid
offering
Radhe:
Your
Most
Wanted
Bhai
tasted
bland
and
left
me
highly
disappointed!
